Chapter Twenty-Eight: Darshan's Imprisonment (I)
Su Lian just said it casually, and he didn't mean to scare Liang Jingweng, but a creature like a eunuch, with a posture of crying at every turn, is even better than a woman! Su Lian was helpless, thinking about it, Xiao Lingzi, who had served him before, was like a normal person.
Thinking of Xiao Lingzi, I thought of Diancui, as soon as she disappeared a year ago, I don't know what happened to the two of them, so I asked Liang Jingweng: "How are the eunuchs and palace maids who used to serve me now?" ”
Liang Jingweng said: "The slave only heard that because he didn't serve your mother well, he was transferred to a nearby place." ”
Su Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "They didn't get boarded, right?" ”
"No, I didn't." Liang Jingweng replied, but he didn't take a board, in fact, it was better to take a board...... Liang Jingweng knew the inside story, but he didn't say it all, one was transferred to the upper courtyard to feed the horses and sweep the dung, and the other was sent to the pulp washing room under the Guangchu Division to wash clothes, all of which were bitter errands.
In this way, because of the rough lines of the Su curtain, they have suffered a lot of hard work.
Su Curtain leaned against a soft pillow, covered with a thin quilt of suede, and looked at it idly with a scroll of books in her hand, there is really no entertainment in this era, especially when she is sick like this, she is not allowed to go out, and she has not asked to stay on the bed as much as possible. Su Lian can only read an interesting book.
Lu Shui, the maid of Yude Garden, took advantage of Liang Jingweng's convenience, secretly lowered her eyebrows and came in, approached Su Lian, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, there is a person outside the garden who claims to be your younger brother. ”
"My brother?!" Su Lian couldn't help blurting out, yes, she has a younger brother, but Alin couldn't know that he was here, so he asked, "What does he look like?" How old are you? ”
Green Water replied: "Lean appearance, oval face, the appearance of a child has not faded, and it looks like an eleven or twelve year old." He claimed to be Ussuri Arin, and said that there was an urgent matter at home, and he had to see you. ”
The description of green water was very consistent, so he hurriedly said: "Let him in!" "Nine times out of ten, it's Arin, but what's going on in Ussuri's house?! How did Arin know she was here?!
Su Lian was waiting in the main room of Fuyou Hall, but he became more and more anxious. didn't wait for Alin to come, but listened to Liang Jingweng's voice, which seemed to be training green water.
Su Lian hurriedly got down from the day bed, put on his shoes, and walked out of the hall to see, "What's wrong?!" ”
Liang Jingweng looked angry, and was about to speak first, but Lushui's mouth was faster: "Niangniang, Liang's father-in-law won't let your brother in." ”
When Liang Jingweng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Shui's eyes full of annoyance, and finally calmed down and said: "Niangniang, your status is valuable, and you can't talk to outsiders casually." ”
Su Lian looked at Lu Shui, he was reprimanded by Liang Jingweng, but he didn't show his grievances, but as usual, he hurriedly ordered: "Bring Alin in quickly." ”
"!" Liang Jingweng hurriedly took a few steps closer, "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”
Su Lian frowned, and said in a very unhappy tone: "I have a low position, so I will probably instruct my father-in-law not to move, and when the emperor comes, my father-in-law will follow back." "Get out of the way, she just hates the piles of rules in the palace, so she doesn't want to go back, this time Liang Jingweng said the rules, she is naturally even more bored.
Seeing this, Liang Jingweng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Niangniang, the slave is afraid that the emperor will be displeased if he knows-" Seeing that Su Lian was becoming more and more displeased, he hurriedly changed his words: "The slave is wrong, the slave should die!" Mother's forgiveness! But don't get rid of the minions! Thinking of the task that his godfather gave him, Liang Jingweng not only did not please this noble pet, but ended up disgusted, if he was sent back, he didn't know if he could keep the top of the seven-rank eunuch!
Over there, the green water has fast legs and feet, and has already come in with a rushing Alin.
"Sister!! - "I saw that Alin was wearing a half-new silk cotton jacket, sweating profusely, and rushed up with an eager face.
The part of the memory of the fusion couldn't help but heat faintly, Su Lian's eyes were a little moist, and he hurriedly removed the silk handkerchief on the jacket and wiped the sweat on Alin's forehead, the child who was only twelve years old had grown as tall as her, but he was still so thin.
Ah Lin hurriedly grabbed Su Lian's hand, his eyes flowed, and he choked up: "Sister! Something is wrong! Something happened to Amma! ”
Alin cried his nose, his eyes were red, and when he got up in a hurry, he was still a child: "Amatta gathered a crowd to gamble, and he has been arrested and imprisoned by Shuntianfu Yin!" ”
Su Lian's hand trembled, and the silk handkerchief embroidered with magpie Deng Meitu in his hand fell to the ground.
Su Lian hurriedly forced himself to calm down, "How could he gather a crowd to gamble?!" ”
Alin wiped tears on his sleeves, and choked up with tears: "Ama always loses money when gambling, and seeing that he is a banker, he never wins or loses, so he opens his own gambling game!" At the beginning, it was okay, I could get more than a dozen taels of silver a year, but Ama was too little, so he mixed mercury in the dice, and since then he has made ten times the profit! But somehow, even the second son of Prince An's mansion and Bei Ziye Marhun also participated in the gamble, and Ama won three thousand taels of silver from him at once! Bei Ziye was annoyed, so he said that Ama was cheating and gambling, and asked someone from Shuntianfu to take Ama down!! ”
After speaking, Alin whimpered and cried even more, "Sister, save Amma!" If you want to be sentenced to a felony for gambling in this dynasty, the amount will exceed 1,000 taels, at least you will exile Ningguta to the armored people as slaves, if you are sentenced heavily, you will lose your life if you don't get it!! ”
Su Lian also knows something, gambling money is not illegal in this era, but gambling is a big deal!! Su Lian forced himself to calm down and think, "The evidence of fraudulent gambling - those mercury-mixed dice have also been found?" ”
Alin shook his head: "No, I was also present at the time, and I took advantage of the chaos to secretly throw the dice into the pit." ”、
Su Lian couldn't help but secretly praise: This kid is still as clever as ever!!
couldn't help but smile: "In other words, although Beizi Marhun said that Ama cheated on the gamble, there is actually no evidence at all, right?" ”
Ah Lin immediately showed a sad face: "Sister Ah is right, but that's Prince An's family Bei Ziye!" He said to arrest people, and Shuntianfu Yin arrested Amma! He said that Amma cheated on gambling, even if there is no evidence, I'm afraid that he will still be judged according to fraudulent gambling!! ”
Ah Lin said so, and Su Lian also frowned, power! That's power! Under the power, where is the need for evidence!
Su Lian pondered for a while and asked, "Ah Lin, how did you know that I was here?" ”
Ah Lin stopped crying for a while, and said: "When I saw Ama in prison, I was so anxious that I ran into the housekeeper of the mansion of the Emperor Dong E, and he told me that my sister was in Yude Garden, Xishan. ”
Dong E co-leader?! Su Lian's head slammed, wasn't it the Kali of that day? The eldest brother Baoqing was raised in his mansion, this must be a person who is deeply favored by the emperor! On that day, the emperor still said that if he needed any payment, he would go to the Kali. What is the purpose of Kali's kindness?! Su Lian's head exploded when he thought about it for a while! But for sure, he has his own little abacus.
"Sister! Aren't you the emperor's concubine? You go and beg the emperor, don't let Shuntianfu Yin sentence Ama to death! Arin couldn't help but cry again.
Yes, if this kind of thing happens, with Su Lian's interpersonal relationships, the only person who can ask for it is the emperor. Is this the purpose of Kali bringing Arin here?! What a good servant of the emperor!
Su Lian gritted his teeth, he must not ask the emperor, if he asks for others, he will inevitably be subject to others!! On his face, he could only comfort Alin with a confident look: "Don't worry, I will think of myself!" "This Dashan is really, he used to gamble for two small money, but now he is bold, and he dares to gather people to gamble!! Su Lian grinded her teeth with hatred, but inherited the next feelings and responsibilities for her family, so she had to rack her brains to save Dashan!!
Su Lian pressed the anxiety in his heart and said to Alin: "It's not too early, you can stay in the garden tonight." ”
Ah Lin hurriedly shook his head, looking very frightened: "How can it be done, this is the royal garden!" ”
Su Lian smiled: "It's okay, this is Prince Yu's courtyard, not a palace." The side face instructed Lu Shui: "I remember that there is a small courtyard in the east that is empty, you go and clean up." "Now that the sun is setting in the west, in half an hour, the city gate will be closed, Alin is obviously too late to return to the city, she, who is a sister, can't she want her own brother to sleep in the wilderness?
